if iraq explodes into a civil war, if that is linked with the war in syria, if jordan is destabilized, which is actually threatening currently, if lebanon explodes as it is beginning, there's a war on the frontier between turkey and syria, and the kurdish problem erupts, all of that could precipitate then some sort of conflict between the united states and iran. and consequently in turn a massive crisis in the global economy. this is the danger we're facing in the middle east and this is why a cool hand, a steady hand is so essential in dealing with this problem. and this is why i was relieved to hear not only that president obama is rather reticent about the idea of major involvement in the war with iran but that is also the case with romney to his credit. >> all right. >> dr. zbigniew brzezinski, thank you very much. he pulled a joe this morning. >> what's that? >> woke up 32 minutes later on the air. impressive. >> that's impressive, dr. brzezinski. >> i don't know who was driving. i'm a little nervous. >> mika woke me up. i was stunned. >> a little bit of a role reversal. >> mika

apparently we have troops in jordan helping them deal with the crisis of refugees coming over the border from syria. on the other hand, there's kind of a sense of to hell with the rest of the world. we can't fix these places. let's just let them sink in their own mess and, you know, extricate ourselves as much as possible. i don't think either of those two extremes will ever come from any american president, meaning that you need to protect your allies, you need to have a presence and as romney points out, if we don't do it, will china step into this role? is india? the other options. as bad as an option is of the u.s. being if not the world's policemen, the world's s.w.a.t. team, the one who gets called in emergencies, then, you know, the other options are other countries that don't have our interests at heart. my guess is that romney may be campaigning in a strong -- as you described, as a neocon level, he may end up governing, if elected, in a much more realist manner. budget and financial matters. not necessarily an ideological predilection. >> i agree with you completely. >> before

you point out jordan. it didn't happen in iran after the death of that young woman who wasn't even a protester in the green revolution in the streets in 2009. the people, you know, originally turned out for her, nadia, but eventually that petered out under the heavy boot of the totalitarian regime. if this does change pakistan profoundly, that has impact in pakistan and throughout the region. >> mark halperin. >> you've got to wonder what the reason is for republicans who know the election is going to be primarily about the economy, why they continue to talk about libya, syria, why about governor romney give that foreign policy speech? my sense is their view of the race is particularly with the economy doing a little bit better, that they need to show that governor romney is stronger. you go back to castellano's very smart view of debates, you need moments of strength. and remember, we've got a whole debate on foreign policy coming up. he's trying to put himself as stronger than the president on the econom
